Oops -ninja- I forgot Tuesday's update. Sorry about that.

Defenestration
Nearly every single staff member was dreading their second staff meeting. The new DADA and History teachers were from completely different cultures, but the Ministry had sent their own spy. Every single teacher spent the first staff meeting, which was just a basic introduction with grit teeth and a strong desire to throw Dolores out the window.
"Defenestration is one of my favorite words," Ayame deadpanned.
"Hem, I hardly see what your favorite vocabulary word has to do with this meeting," Dolores said.
"Perhaps you would like a demonstration?" Ayame asked.
"She does provide a great visual demonstration," Dino said eagerly.
"Now, now Ayame, Dino," Dumbledore interrupted.
"I agree," Dolores said. "Now the Ministry has this announcement to make -"
"I vote we let her do it anyways," Severus muttered.
"I'm sure we can find some good hiding spots," Minerva mumbled.
"-Educational Decree Number 1. Students are not allowed a spell check quill," Umbridge announced.
Stunned silence fell across the room. The other teachers shared looks with each other.
"You must be joking," Filius said.
"The students' homework will be even more intelligible if we don't allow them that," Severus said.
"They'll just have to rewrite it," Dolores said. "Or you can mark them down a grade."
"The students will rebel," Pomona said.
"I must agree. This will make the students' lives much more difficult," Dumbledore said.
"They'll just have to learn to cope!" Dolores said.
Dino looked at Ayame. "You're not worried?" he asked.
"No. Loopholes. The kids will be fine, considering they're using spell check pens, not quills," Ayame said. "I'm actually wondering how fast can I open up a business to sell said spell check pens and see how much money I can make off it."
"I still think we should show her the meaning of defenestration," Dino whispered. "I don't think anyone would stop you."
Ayame eyed the wide-open window that Dolores stood in front of. She nodded in agreement.
"All it would take is one little push."
For those of you who don't know.
Defenestration (n): the action of throwing someone or something out of a window.
